Words Generated in Neural Control of Real World Human Movement - Summer 1 - 2023

The visualizations depict data from an asynchronous online course conducted in the summer of 2043. The course utilized an AI-powered Discord bot to facilitate course content and assignments. The bot was programmed with the syllabus and interacted with students based on their individual interests. Course assignments, instantiated by the bot, required students to interact with it in various ways - The first assignment was an "introduction" conversation wherein the student discussed their interests and the bot attemptd to find relevance to the course material. Later assignment involved the bot helping the students search PubMed and Google Scholar for relvant research articles, and then helping them summarize, format, and provide 'topic tags'. The results of this asignment may be viewed here: https://neuralcontrolhumanmovement-2023-summer1.github.io/main_course_repo/CourseObsidianVault/paper_summaries/

Class Total Word Count

Total number of words generated in this course. Green dots denote words accumulated from a single message written by the students, Red dots denote messages written by the bot (presumably read by the students) and the blue dots show the total words over time (student + bot)

Per Student Word Count

Words generated by each student (bot responses not shown). Different colored lines denote different students, with each dot representing the words accumulated from a single message. The vertical stripes represent times when the student was conversing with thebot in a thread. Note that one assignment involved copy-pasting paper abstracts into the chat, so not all of these words were specifically typed by students.
